I'm sorry to take the emphasis off the cheerleader question, but what you've stated above is not quite right. Music is only allowed pre-game, during intermissions and during time-outs. Artificial noisemakers are never permitted.

My mistake on the noisemakers. Although, my partner also considered the band to be "artificial noisemakers" so there's that little piece too.

The band is obviously considered to be music, not artificial noise. So your partner was 0-for-everything on that call.

Are there rocks ahead? If there are, we all be dead!

No more rhyming! I mean it!!

NFHS 5-11-2: A single 30-second charged time-out shall not exceed 30 seconds. A warning signal for teams to prepare to be ready to resume play is sounded at 20 seconds. No on-court entertainment should occur during this time.

NFHS 1-18-1: The playing of music/sound effects shall only be permitted during pregame, time-outs, intermission and post-game. The use of artificial noisemakers shall be prohibited.

Thanks, Billy. 5-11 was the one we couldn't find last night.

You're welcome. 1-18-1 was hard to find. I don't think I've ever looked through Rule 1 for a citation before.

and post-game. While you Bay State officials watch the post game handshake, you can enjoy listening to the band playing "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey-ey, Goodbye".

Meanwhile, here in the Constitution State, at the same time you're watching a bunch of kids who don't want to shake hands, shake hands, we'll be showering, and getting ready to either go home, or to go out and get some adult beverages, and we'll be singing "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey-ey, We're Out Of Here".
